Fifth grade students will excitedly set goals for their upcoming year by learning about different series available in the library. After they identify artifacts they would pack in their suitcase, they’ll think about why. This interactive activity prepares them to think about their own perceptions and how books can shift those by immersing them in the setting, events, and characters.
